Nice mods and great video. I plan to do this with my saw. Thanks for the video!! One suggestion on the angle bracket support. If you are using the L-bracket style you showed, I would add a chamfer to the bottom backside of that fence. The L bracket has a crimp/bump in the inside middle of the 90degree angle to give added support. Without a chamfer, the support portion of the L will be pushed down due to that crimp/bump.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

That is true. I actually ground that crimp off, I just didn’t show it in the video. A shallow chamfer on the fence is smart and probably an even better option! 👍

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Thank you, that’s what I’m here for!

[@TrailToughTrailers]

Lee, I LOVE the videos... BUT, I have always been told, when cutting always "maintain control" of the piece of wood that is between any stop and the blade. Control= holding on to, a clamp, push stick, etc. In your vid you are cutting stock with you holding on to the wood on the left side of the blade while showing the the piece of wood between the stop and the blade. The idea is, the piece of wood could easily get bound up and kick out and is the one needing control, while the other side NOT bound and will usually just bump out of the way. I managed a shop that cut stretcher/picture frame molding. We used a system that had two people and two chop/mitersaws independently cutting next to each other. Nothing fancy, just two people with two Makita saws standing next to each other. The saws were about 24 inches part. Standing facing the saws, the one on the left would pre-trim/miter cut the end and then slide it to the person on the right and they would cut it to length using a fence stop block.The person on the right side would have the piece under control because it was between the fence stop and the blade. After 6 years and well over a *million (seriously) cuts we only had 12 recorded kickback moments. Of those 12, 10 were from the person on the right not holding/controlling the block. Take notice I believe of your second cut. As the saw returns to the upright position the piece between your stop block and the blade starts to lift slightly. Of the 10 kickback we had, 7 were from the person letting go after the cut and allowing the saw to return to the upright position, without holding the cut piece in place. Once the blade was no longer in contact with the piece, raising above material, obviously in wasn't a problem. *Million... okay I really didn't count, but during our rush holiday season we would make 30,000+ frames (plus the other 8 months of the year x 6 years). Each frame has 8 cuts... that my friend is a LOT of miter cuts!!! Soooooo, if I'm wrong... PLEASE correct my thinking on this one!!!

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Kind of a bad habit of mine, I know. The potential of kickback is very low (much lower than on a table saw), but it definitely isn't "zero."

@@BustedKnuckleWoodworks One quick question. If you put a gap under the board in order to handle dust. Wouldn't you want the L bracket being used as a support to have the same spacing from the support board instead of being flush? The board being cut would not be flat on the miter saw.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Wow, did not know that! Super awesome tip! 👍

[@brianfox2653]

I made something for my old table saw that had a horizontal feed guide base that was attached at a 90 degree angle to the 6 foot auxiliary fence that was connected by F-Clamps. The base was only for the sections that were before and after the table itself, but it helped to keep the wood from moving around constantly. Instead of the angle bracket connected in the back of yours, what about a flat board connected to the bottom and was kept at a true 90 by a couple of metal right angles. If it was a thin enough melamine, it would allow the wood to slide, yet be supported and not weigh too much. By the way, cool video. I just thought this might help. Bust a knuckle!

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

These are good ideas. I thought about adding a horizontal board to the bottom at 90°, maybe even using pocket screws, but wanted to keep it as simple and inexpensive as possible. Nothing stopping anyone from doing that though!

I have that same saw with that same base and have wanted some convenient way of setting up stop blocks that remained portable. I love this!

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Good stuff here. I still prefer the tracks for mounting and stops (especially for mounting to the saw) because repeated install and removal will inevitably wear out the dove tail where it's clamped. In addition to that, the outfeed support should only be used with light trim, as the constant weight of the cut material (especially the farther away the support is from the cut) will lever your mounting hardware until it is sloppy. This is generally why the outfeed arms are part of a base system and not hung from the back stop, which we count on for precision. The obvious alternative is a simple roller stand, less that $20 as Harbor Freight, and is also mobile so it can be used as an infeed support for cutting long sticks of material into small bits. That Fastcap crown fence is awesome though... I might have to look into that thing.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

I agree about the tracks. Far more durable for sure, but I wanted to present a lower-cost option for people who already own the Matchfit stuff (essentially free). Good observation on the outfeed support also. It never even occurred to me when I did the first video because I already have it on my stand but as I learned from the comments in the first video, there are many who don’t use a dedicated stand. I thought the ruler trick was brilliant though, and that one never even crossed my mind until I got the photo I showed.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

@@BustedKnuckleWoodworks yes, the ruler trick is clever. Thanks for the great videos!

[@BigBenC1991]

I was thinking that just adding a leg to the end of the long fence would take care of that problem. Just make a piece a few inches longer than the height of your miter saw, add a slot to one end to allow for height adjustment if you use it on uneven ground, and attach it to the t-track/dovetail slot at the end of the fence. When not it use it should all fold together nicely for compact storage.

Stop blocks should be always on the left side. Holding the cut piece with your left hand and cut with the right hand. This avoids pieces getting kicked out from the spinning blade, unless blade stops every time after every cut.

Reference the tape measure, won't you have to reset it each time you change the blade (and kerf) and each time you miter at an angle?

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

As long as the kerf doesn’t change you will be fine. The kerf should be 1/8” (there’s no reason to install a thin kerf blade on a miter saw). Of course you are correct in that the tape won’t be accurate for angle cuts.

If you're going to use MDF and route out a dovetail, I suggest making a couple quick passes down the table saw first to remove some material from the middle of where the dovetail will be. It will be much easier and safer to route out then.

Don't know that I'd call that a "flaw." The DeWalt is the biggest-selling 12" miter saw out there among trim and finish carpenters, so it makes sense for them to support that one first. I am told they plan to make it for other saws soon, but no word as to which one(s).

I really like the idea of the in-set ruler, but I feel that the inside of the T-track is a bit too far away resulting in possible inaccuracies.
